I started this blog in 2009 to document what I ate, what I read, and how much I ran leading up to the NYC marathon. While I did manage to drag myself over the finish line, I have since decided I am not a marathon runner. I have also decided that while running, food, and reading are no longer the centre of my life, they remain an integral part of helping me centre and appreciate my life. They help me realize that it's not that serious...

77 Day to NYC

Running:

One of my favorite runs of the season so far. Only 3 miles but I did it with my son, Billy, "spotting me" on his bicycle. We had a great talk the whole time and it made the run seem effortless and short. I always somehow manage to get them an extra medal from whatever race I have just run so that they feel like they are included (running takes so much time away from them, especially in the weeks leading up to a race) in my endeavor, but running with Billy today was greater than that because he really was included in my training.

Recipe

Ended up having a steak dinner at the Keg a la Billy's suggestion. Proclaimed he prefer the $10 Kids' meal steak there to the $40 steak from House of Chan. When asked why, he explained that at the Keg, you also get veggies and dip, a drink, and ice cream with your meal. Hear that, Mr. Chan?

Reading

Ummm... I was supposed to read today? Do the TV listings at 2am count? Just couldn't sleep...
